There's a third possibility between works and doesn't work: Works but not quite good enough to make the case against commoditization. If open source or on-device AI gets good enough for 80% of consumers, then this stops being a co

PHP has had a lot of conventions so the training data is all over the place. Ruby is a nightmare in that regard. Can't speak to Elixir but I'm surprised to hear someone say LLMs producing good code in either language. On the other

It reinforces how to "learn AI" is to first master the problem domain. I can use AI for coding after decades of coding. I can't use it for theoretical physics because I can't evaluate the responses.

Never once had a problem with an LG because I've never given it internet access. A trustworthy set top box handles everything instead. Concerned that might not be an option in the future.

I've found that my whole design philosophy has to change to work with HTMX. That's not a dig, it may even be a good thing, but it's a significant shift. The designs become much more native to the web and much less inspired by

The papers linked in the article discuss the mechanical operations that simulate reasoning. Intelligence is data efficiency and I don't see a strong argument that reasoning can exist if it requires a world's worth of data. That do

Do we see actual signs of reasoning or is it anthropomorphism? We have an innate tendency to do so as humans.

The first point is solid. The loss of craftsmanship means that the labor cost of those who remain has skyrocketed. That's an irony of devaluing labor is that those who hold on to their craft end up in very high demand. That said, you o

Nepo baby. Joking (sort of). I can't say I know of any in the fields I'm familiar with. I've watched tech get increasingly top-heavy since the covid hiring boom and bust, although it was already trending that way. There are a

Seems like a great field to get into if you can make it to the top 5-10% skillset. The rapid advances, in a trend replicating throughout society, push out the middle in favor of the top.

Moving fast was a huge moat for a long time, but now moving fast is easy. Quality might be the new moat. Important to note that fast never meant much to open source and for good reason.

The complexity required of a basic CRUD app versus a client-side optimistic update are worlds apart. Exhaust all other optimizations before lying to your users about what just happened.

Anyone worth their salt looked down on copy/paste from Stackoverflow, let alone blindly doing so. Where does this idea come from that good programmers were ever cool with that?
